Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard - 50 Device CAL Pack

Overview

The Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard 50 Device CAL Pack provides Client Access Licenses for fifty physical devices to access your SQL Server 2017 Standard instances. Each Device CAL covers one machine — any number of users on that device can connect to SQL Server without needing individual licenses. Device CALs are the smart choice for shared-device environments. In hospitals where nurses rotate through bedside terminals, in warehouses where workers share scanning stations, in libraries with public database access, or in factories with communal workstations — Device CALs keep licensing simple and cost-effective. SQL Server 2017 introduced cross-platform support (Linux native), graph database capabilities, and intelligent query processing. Adaptive query processing automatically adjusts join strategies, memory grants, and execution plans based on actual runtime conditions. Automatic database tuning continuously monitors and self-heals performance regressions. Graph tables enable native relationship modeling for complex interconnected data, and resumable online index operations let you pause maintenance windows without losing progress. All 50 Device CALs are perpetual licenses with no subscription requirements. Genuine Microsoft volume licenses with instant digital delivery.
